The brief, hazy era of “pure” London punk...lasted somewhere between four and eighteen months, depending on who’s recollecting, although most agree that by 1978, it was over. Since punk began as a rebellion against boredom, the dead space of commercial music production and the empty hedonism born of the hippie era’s “great sexual revolution”, it was only a matter of time until it, too, would become corrupted.

Warning! Punk is edgy music. Please be aware some of these songs may offend. That's kind of the point.
